Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride 250 mL IV to infuse over 4 hr to a pregnant client who has a blood glucose level of 65 mg/dL. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Formula: Flow rate = Total Volume (mL)/ Infusion time(hrs) Given: Total volume: 250 mL Infusion time: 4 hours Flow rate = 250 mL / 4 hours = 62.5 mL/hr Rounding to the nearest whole number: 63 mL/hr Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 63 mL/hr.
